Here’s just a few of the things people have said about Leadership Summit.

The year before Leadership Summit started in our school, we had 40 pregnancies in our student body of grade 7, 8, and 9 students. After a year-and-a-half of the ninth grade students participating in Summit, we had zero pregnancies in our whole school! - Principal

We see a lot of change in the morals and attitudes of our learners. They are using God as the foundation to reach their destiny. - Teacher

We as the educators have experienced so much improvement from our learners; they are more expressive in class, obedient, respectful of themselves, each other, and authority, and have even started to pray in class. - Teacher

Summit has implanted a sense of hope for the future in our learners. - Teacher

Leadership Summit has changed learners’ attitudes in the following: number of pregnancy has drastically decreased, number of those who do not do homework has also decreased, behavior problems in general decreased, and relationships with fellow learners and educators, as well as the community, are better. - Principal

Since February 2007, we have not had any report from the teachers about student drug use. This is an indication of the success of Leadership Summit. Absenteeism has gone down because learners now understand the importance of school and that the future is in their hands. - Principal

Students at our school comment that Leadership Summit helps them to choose the right friends, to choose between right and wrong, and to follow good examples. They also learn how to handle peer pressure positively. – Principal
